I think when they use breaking even, they mean making the same
amount of money at Twickenham that they would have made at the
Stoop, after factoring in all costs, including hiring
Twickenham, Craig David etc

twice per season instead of once or agreed a lower rate for not

when it 1st went up on their website months ago

Surely this also links to pricing?
Big Game tickets are/were historically quite accessible. There
were a decent chunk of BSKO tickets that appeared to mirror
Stoop pricing (£60 ish for most of the posh seats) - potentially
the revenue was still decent.
